Can you disable toggle answers if a specific answer is chosen?

    For example, we have a question for four dates as button options and then a fifth option that says "I cannot do any of these dates but keep my in mind for the future!"

    If that last option is selected, is there a way to have that UNcheck any previous dates that were selected?

    If your users should chose only one option then I would suggest you to use radio button (single choice) field. 

    If you need to allow your users to select multiple dates, then I woulds suggest you to use two fields. First field with date options and second field with "I cannot do any of these dates but keep my in mind for the future!" option. You can then clear selected options of first field if second field is filled. 

    I have set one condition to clear selected options.

    Thanks! This helped a lot.
    Would it be possible to create a pathway whereby if someone first selected
    a date by mistake, then selected the field saying that they can't judge, it
    would empty the date radio buttons? I've tried but it keeps creating a
    loop that won't allow anything to be selected.

    You can create a condition to only show the date selection if "Yes- Let me pick my dates is selected", and hide it if "I can't judge..." is selected, this will eliminate the possibility of users selecting dates by mistake. I have cloned your form and set up a condition to achieve this, the condition looks like this:

    When run, this condition will achieve this result:

    You can also set a condition to disable the date fields if "I can't judge is selected", in a similar way, but with using the ENABLE/DISABLE option, meaning it will show the dates, but they will be grey-ed out and the user won't be able to select. 

     

    Here's my version of your form, with the condition above applied, you can clone it and use it if you like:

    Hi, yet another question ... are all forms now responsive by default? Or
    do you still need to activate that feature? If so, where does one do that?

    Hi. Quick follow-up question about this. On your demo form, when you
    select dates and then select the second field option ("I cannot do...") it
    does clear the dates above. However, if you then go back and select dates
    it allows you to have both a date and the "I cannot do..." options
    selected. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

    As you can see, it is no longer possible to have both date and the "I cannot do..." option on the form before submission.

    I fixed that in the form Settings by assigning Clear on Hidden for fields that were being hidden by conditions.
